Under the agreement, DNeX will provide cyber security consultancy and advisory services based on the delivery model, methodology and brand of EC-Council Global Services.

At the signing of the agreement held in Kuala Lumpur recently, DNeX was represented by Mr Rodney Lee, Chief Executive Officer of DNeX Technology while EC-Council was represented by its Group President Mr Jay Bavisi. Also present at the signing were Datuk Samsul Husin, Executive Deputy Chairman of DNeX and President of EC-Council University and member of the EC-Council Board Ms Lata Bavisi.

“We are pleased to be working together with EC-Council to provide top notch cyber security consultancy and advisory in an increasingly growing market in the country,” said Datuk Samsul Husin.

“EC-Council with its leading edge experience and impressive list of clients can give a boost to our existing cyber security services offerings,” he said.

Moreover, he added that DNeX will be able to have access to EC-Council’s methodologies and learn from cyber security implementation in key global economies.
